What is hope
Hope is a lie wrapped in words. Hope is cruel, it knows where it aches. Hope is hard, it dares to live with the ache. It makes us wait, not for salvation, But for an illusion that never was, never will be true. Hope dies for nothing. Again and again, it collapses like fragile wings And yet, somehow, a thread of it remains, wrapped around my chest Hope aches in my lungs not gently, not like a breath but like smoke, like fire without warmth. It bursts through my ribs, rips my soul to held anything together. Had life been easier if hope was buried alive? What If it was silenced before it could whisper. But then what'd be left to endure, What would be left to breath for.
